Hi, Look Closely At The Hatch Plastic Trim Before You Take Anything Apart. Some Plastic Trim Have Round Covers That you Take Off , With Screws Underneath.Some Trim Have Little Round Buttons That you Pry Off. With A Door Panel Trim Tool Very Carefully.Some Panels Have A little Round Button With A Pin In It . That You Push The Center Pin to Release the Pin. There Are Different Ways As you Can see . The most Common Is The Round Button That you Pry off.If You Don't see Any Screws or Buttons then it has either plastic or metal clips under the plastic panel.For This you Need A Flat Putty Knife And A Rag As not to scratch Anything, To get Under The Plastic Trim To Lift It off.

Hope This Helps You,
Good Luck
